Bis-15-crown-5-ether-pillar[5]arene K+‑Responsive Channels

An artificial selective K+ channel is formed from the supramolecular organization on bis­(benzo-15-crown-5- ether-ureido)-pillar[5]­arene compound. This channel achieves a selectivity of SK+/Na+ = 5 for an initial transport rate of k K+ = 3.2 × 10–3 s–1. The cation-file diffusion occurs via selectiv...

Description
Summary:An artificial selective K+ channel is formed from the supramolecular organization on bis­(benzo-15-crown-5- ether-ureido)-pillar[5]­arene compound. This channel achieves a selectivity of SK+/Na+ = 5 for an initial transport rate of k K+ = 3.2 × 10–3 s–1. The cation-file diffusion occurs via selective macrocyclic-filters anchored on inactive supporting pillar[5]­arene relays. The sandwich-type binding geometry of the K+ cation by two 15-crown-5 moieties sites is a key feature influencing channel efficiency.
